#### Real-time US flight tracker with 3D view and live weather

Flight Radar renders OpenSky Network aircraft data and NOAA weather in a 3D global display. It will work "out of the box", using anonymous OpenSky Network access, but to get full use out of it you will need to provide API credentials for OpenSky (free). You will need a FlightAware API key (paid) to do searches by flight number or see the filed route of a flight.
